That really sucks...sorry to hear. I didn't get any PPF on my 3 because I figured if it were anything significant enough, it would damage the PPF to the point that you would need to reinstall it AND repaint the affected area. I would rather just get minor touch ups to any bumper damage, and I would think you could get your paint scrape professionally touched up for a lot less $ and come out looking great.
You and I are in the same scenario. However I have PPF.....but it probably needs to be replaced.
Some asshole scraped the bumper of my car.

Looks like the same thing. I think mine took a bigger hit, but its hard to tell with the ppf protection on yours.
Hopefully it can be touched up without repainting the whole thing.
It would be nice if Elon hurried up with that dashcam functionality.. I'd love to see the cameras activate if someone does this..
A very similar scrape on my S wiped off with an alcohol prep pad in a matter of moments, thanks to the PPF on my front end. Paint protection and City Parking
I guess I should have listened to you a month ago. I just can't believe that it happened so soon after years of no real issues with other cars

I feel your pain. My first new car ever was only a week old when someone put a 2-foot long scratch on the door. I was parking in a lot with tight spaces, and I think it was an accident, since it wasn't deep, but they didn't leave a note. Good news is yours is fixable.Looks like someone scraped my bumper after trying to park and ran off.
Most of the residue came off.. but definitely scraped off a bunch of paint

Yep. Hate those A-holes who knowingly scrape someone's car and not bother to take responsibility. My other car got scraped in my neighborhood which means some neighbor did it, which makes it even worse.
While I find the sensors a bit overly conservative, I would still pay attention to make sure I don't hit something with a brand new car.
I was parked on the right side of the street and I can only guess that someone pulled in forward.
I'm going to try to see if I can get Tesla to touch it up because they need to fix the paint in another spot on the car. The door seal is scratching the paint and leaving marks.
